18 hours of punditry a day = "I might as well be a professional"

An actual degree = "hyper specializing...don't know politics"

First time I've heard the term "hyper-specializing" too

I'm pretty sure leaders have been staying at his hotels and resorts since he got elected, and no one's put a stop to it.

Slavitt: Obamacare Should Be Profitable This Year if Republicans Don't Blow It Up

Andy Slavitt ran the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under President Obama, which included responsibility for Obamacare. Here's a tweetstorm he posted today:

I talked today/last night to 5 health plan CEOs. Won't use names but: 1 Blues, 1 integrated w hospital, 2 non-profit, 1 VC backed. All 5 health plan CEOs believe they priced 2017 #ACA business & should at least breakeven. Several of the plans beat their ACA membership projections.

Of the 5 plans, w/ current uncertainty none can yet commit 2 participate in 2018. All seemed aware that new #ACA stability reg is coming. One plan said with all the work to be profitable in the #ACA (they hadn't been), ironic to question participation now.

....They didn't say, but I will: if there is ambiguity, they will raise prices if they participate. One CEO who has an actuarial background said he would be at single digit rate increases but for all the uncertainty. It sounds like the plans will submit #ACA rates for 2018 high to hold place in line. Big increases all from repeal & mandate uncertainty.

[It] is a shame. Not sure if representative, but single digit if we would wipe uncertainty off table. Still can. But needs to be fast....I think people are so weary of the unpredictability of politics. It zaps energy from their real jobs.

We don't yet have final enrollment figures for 2017, but it appears that even with double-digit rate increases, uncertainty over Republican repeal plans, and deliberate sabotage from the new Trump administration, signups will be only 2-3 percent lower than last year. That's a pretty stable market, and probably a profitable—or at least breakeven—one. Fairly modest changes could fix a lot of Obamacare's existing problems, and higher funding could fix the rest of them.

Instead, we have massive uncertainty in an industry that felt like things had finally settled down after years of work. Slavitt is right: it's a shame. We can only hope that Republicans will wake up and decide that repairing Obamacare and then taking credit for its success is a better path than blowing up the entire individual health insurance market.

More info from actual nurses discussing the topic. An associate nurse is responsible for the most basic **** but no one is going to trust them with post-op and ICU patients, and leadership/ management. If you want to be a basic nurse just taking vitals and making sure the patient gets their schedules meds you can get an associate. But ICU and difficult patients and of course more pay is given to nurses with bachelors. 

Enh, my wife is a RN w/ an Associates and she's been the charge nurse in the ICU, NICU and also does post-op for a plastic surgeon. And she works the operating room.

Associates def doesn't equal basic nurse.

Oh and my mom was a charge nurse on a NICU floor for a decade plus w/ a 2-yr degree.
